What's the tackiest thing about Kathie Lee Gifford?

She's still not even 60. We'll still have her in the public eye for a good long while.

Agree with R3. OP's list is only the beginning.

I had never paid much attention to her until I recently saw her show with Hoda. She was rude, insufferable and obviously drunk.

No overkill intended, but I am unable to select only one, opting for ALL OF THE ABOVE. Even adding how she makes faces for the camera that make it look as if her mouth is an anus, preparing to open up for a dump.

That we can see into the bubble she lives in, but she apparently can't see out---to recognize the stunned and stupefied looks on people's faces.

[R11] Apparently the show gets the ratings. Ratings have no taste.

R12, The show is in a decent time slot and Hoda Kotb is popular and appears intelligent.

Kathie Lee and Hoda are really the female version of the Odd Couple.

R15 has it: worked with Anita Bryant who no doubt loved Kathie Lee's first, queer husband.

I call her Kathie Epstein to remind her that grew up as a Christ killer.

She was a former correspondent for Good Morning America, and substitute co-host as well.

She reminds me of the following question:

I'm a little surprised by the amount of people here who actually buy her I'm-so-drunk schtick. It's the flimsiest act on TV. Three sips of alcohol over the course of an hour hardly classify someone as drunk. Other than that, I find any referance to her husband's endowment or libido just creepy. Also, she and Hoda come across as haughty bitches at times, and it's very insulting to their guests. Their disinterest and disregard, Hoda's especially, are unprofessional, dismissive, and downright rude. But, they seem to be loved by the fraus of suburbia who think a half glass of wine is breaking free.

She brags about listening to Barbra Streisand albums while her peers were out protesting the Vietnam war. Given that she was attending Oral Roberts University at the time unsure abut the truthfulness of it.

However, miscarrying and shitting out her fetus while sitting on the pot and having Frank fish out Junior from the toilet ranks up there.

There's so much about Kathie Lee that's bizarre and mean spirited.

She appears to favor music that 70 and 80 year old grew up listening to. This would not be a problem if she ever acknowledged that performers in other areas of music also produced great music Every song Hoda enjoys, Kathie Lee sits there with her sour face telling Hoda how horrible and un-musical the song is or that she has "no idea what the lyrics are". My elderly mom has broader tastes in music than Kathie Lee!

She grew up Jewish, real name: Kathie Epstein, yet she is totally blocking that out. Are people aware she is Jewish? I don't remember her ever acknowledging this.

She's sarcastic to even the women getting the makeovers, She gives nearly every celebrity guest some type of dig, unless they are Born Again ReThugs like she is, she spares no one.

Basically, she's a sanctimonious bitch.

Oh the joys of working from home for the past eight years, getting annoyed by that bitch Kathie Lee! I watch her "Today" segment because I like Hoda.

I hate her cause she a judgmental bitch of her Christian ways. Every time she opens that mouth and says 'Bad, nasty pagans!' I want to haul off and slap her.

Also that fact that she breathes makes me sick.

Kelly got a big, black man as a co-host, why can't I?

This sucks!

Well she writes in her book that she worked for Anita Bryant PRIOR to going to Oral Roberts University.

Anita and her husband are the ones who got her into the University. Kathie Lee writes that Anita thought Babs was an OK singer, nothing great. And Kathie Lee was just stunned by what Anita said, as she thought Babs was a musical genius.
